We have, we just don't whine about it.

Presumably WE doesn't include your coach whose quote made the headlines in Saturday's Hull Daily Mail with 'Injuries cost us the game'. At least it was an improvement from the previous week when it was the rain that cost you the game. I do hope he needs one after Thursday's derby.

Can you do a favour and show me a direct quote from Radford that blames either injuries or rain for our last two defeats?

And Webster has not made any excuses for losses or position in table then?

All 13 Hull players that ran out at Rovers ran out at Saints a week later. There's a difference between being injured & being able to rotate an injury free squad (especially at Easter) which Hull fans seem unable to grasp.

Driving away from our epic game last Friday, I listened to Lee Radford's post match interview on RH. He directly attributed the adverse result to errors and injuries sustained during the course of the 80 minutes.

I haven't listened to it, but have read all the quotes in the press and still haven't seen a quote saying that injuries cost us the game, they certainly didn't help, but I though other factors effecting us more, we managed to get in a winning position even with the injuries, but silly mistakes and not been clinical enough was the reason we lost.

The point being made is until now fc have had a great run injury wise.is it the training or because they've been dominant in games,luck or more likely a bit of all 3?will be interesting to see both 19s for Thursday. Last 4 derby for me have been won largely because of power in back row.last year mini, ellis,Wester man. This year mini ellis and tank or manu. Our back row of Horne Clarkson Donaldson or Larroyer looks outgunned.front row and backs I feel we've matched up fine for most part. I'm not making predictions for this game til I see squads but if no ellis n Minichello it would be a big miss for them

Cas are looking comfortable against a somewhat depleted Catalans.

So we'd now be relying on a safe Cas getting a result at a need-to-win Wakey in round 23, on top of everything else, to make the 8.

Every point will help in securing that 4th home game though.

Think both will be OK, Ellis was sick and Mini was come have come back on, think he nearly did.

Watts, Frank and Carlos will be doubtful, we seem to struggle against teams will good backs which Leeds and Hudds do, I'm not sure that Rovers have the firepower to cause us enough problems. I'll be really disappointed if we lose this one, you are due a derby win though.

See I always worry about the term due a win. You are top and have beaten us twice already. You are at home, so should beat us again.


But we are due a win.
